Chapter 733
Ashlyn could not resist remarking, “You have made such great progress in a short time. That was an excellent
performance.”
Mollified by Ashlyn's praise, Olivia beamed. She looked beautiful and charismatic when she smiled.
“Thank you, Ms. Berry,” she said appreciatively.
The other judges also had comments to offer.
A scowl instantly appeared on her face when Hera saw from backstage that her rival's score was two points higher
than her own.
D*mn it! How could Olivia have made such huge progress?
Positive comments from the viewers constantly flashed across the screen on the live broadcast. “It sounded
amazing.”
“She really demonstrated Jonathan's style back then.”
“What a delightful performance! She fully brought out that solemnity of going to war.”
“Yes, you're right!”

At the prompt of the director's voice, she started forward with grim determination.
Although Ms. Warhol played very well, I have no intention of losing!
Charlotte, too, desired Ashlyn's praise. She wanted nothing more than to stand on stage before the eyes of the
world and bask in the gaze of admiration from the crowd below. I just want the Field family and Ashlyn to be proud
of me! I cannot let the Fields down after all their kindness toward me.
She had never wanted to succeed more in an endeavor.
The audience watched as the slender girl stepped slowly onto the stage and seated herself at the piano.
The audience watched as the slender girl stepped slowly onto the stage and seated herself at the piano.
To their surprise, the piece she played was one they have never heard before.
How refreshing!
Ashlyn knew in a matter of seconds that it was a piece Charlotte had written herself.
The girl was musically talented. Aside from being adept at the cello, she played the piano well enough to compose
her own piece.
A rare musical genius, indeed.
However, the song was a little too sad.
Charlotte was soon lost in her own performance.
Based on her own life experience, the piece started with the tragedy and helplessness of her childhood before
progressing to the pain of being driven out of the Fraser family. Finally, it resolved to the Field family's stability and
warmth, which served as the catalyst for her final transformation.
Like a butterfly, she had broken free of her cocoon.
Charlotte was so intoxicated that she poured her heart into the music and endowed it with great charm, infecting
the audience in its sway.
Some of the more sensitive audience members even shed a few tears.
“That touched my heart in a way I've never felt before.”
“What a pianist.”
“I could almost see the sun shining onto the drab and gloomy curtains.”
The crowd was floored, to say the least.
Even the audience members who were tone-deaf were helplessly swayed by the emotions Charlotte conjured.

Even her harshest critics were forced to admit that the composition and performance were executed equally well.
After the girl struck the last note, she rose slowly to her feet and bowed to the crowd whose deafening applause
nearly brought down the roof.
Seated amongst the audience, Lochlan gazed with silent pride at Charlotte.
Although I'm glad that she's shining brightly, she seems to be slipping farther and farther away from me.
The realization caused bursts of pain in his heart that were so intense that he could hardly breathe.
Caleb gaped at Charlotte. “That was perfect. You're the second genius to have me at a loss for words like that.”
Ryan was similarly stunned as he had never heard that tune. “Your performance has matured and improved since
the qualifiers. Did you compose this song yourself?”
Charlotte nodded, her beauty still apparent despite having her face wrapped in gauze. ”I did,” she said as a matter
of factly from atop the stage. “I wrote this piece after overcoming my autism.”
Standing tall like a strong pine, she refused to succumb to the tribulations of wind and rain.
It was there that Charlotte stood as she gazed up at the audience crammed in the theater.
I broke free! I really did! How liberating it is to be able to express my thoughts and speak without having my heart
twitch in anxiety like how it used to.
